Concentration Flashcards
What happens if you increase concentration?
Equilibrium shifts to reduce concentration
What happens if you decrease concentration?
Equilbrium shifts to increase concentration
What happens if you increase H2 concentration (reactants) in
3H2 +N2-> 2NH3
Equilibrium will shift to the right to use it up and reduce concentration and more product 2NH3 will be produced
What happens if you increase the 2NH3 (product) concentration?
equilibrium will shift to the left, to be used up and reduce concentration and more reactants (H2 and N2) will be produced.
What happens if you increase the H+ concentration in
2CrO4 2- + 2H+ -> Cr2O7 2- + H2O-
Moves to the right and turns orange
What happens if you decrease and add alkali
moves to the left and turns yellow
When does concentration only affect a reaction
Only in Homogenous reactions- whereby reactants and products are in the same state
